Everyone thinks that Bob Kane created Batman, but that’s not the whole truth. One author makes it his crusade to make it known that Bill Finger, a struggling writer, actually helped invent the iconic superhero, from concept to costume to the very character we all know and love. Bruce Wayne may be Batman’s secret identity, but his creator was always a true mystery.
Directed by Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce

I think it is so funny that this movie starts by giving the presentation about the documentary's plot to an assembly of children. Because children are clearly very aware of the situation and give a shit

one of the most righteous characters in fiction co-created by the biggest dipshit in the industry
Bill Finger is the unsung hero of comic books and he deserved the world and more for his contributions
im glad after 78 years he got what he was owed

Great documentary about Bill Finger. Don’t know if I quite believe the spreading of the ashes story but if it is then it’s a great ending to a sad story.
